Graphs API

6.1 Graphs

6.1.1 List all graphs

Method & Url
GET http://localhost:8080/graphs 
Response Status
200 
Response Body
{  "graphs": [  "hugegraph",  "hugegraph1"  ] } 

6.1.2 Get details of the graph

Method & Url
GET http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph 
Response Status

6.1.3 Clear all data of a graph, include: schema, vertex, edge and index .etc.,**This operation

requires administrator privileges**

Params

Since emptying the graph is a dangerous operation, we have added parameters for confirmation to the API to avoid false calls by users:

  • confirm_message: default by I'm sure to delete all data
Method & Url
DELETE http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/clear?confirm_message=I%27m+sure+to+delete+all+data 
Response Status
204 

6.1.4 Clone graph,this operation requires administrator privileges

Params
  • clone_graph_name: name of an existed graph. To clone from an existing graph, the user can choose to transfer the configuration file, which will replace the configuration in the existing graph
Method & Url
POST http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph_clone?clone_graph_name=hugegraph 
Request Body [Optional]

Clone a non-auth mode graph: (Must set body Context-Type=text/plain)

gremlin.graph=org.apache.hugegraph.HugeFactory backend=rocksdb serializer=binary store=hugegraph_clone rocksdb.data_path=./rks-data-xx rocksdb.wal_path=./rks-data-xx 

Note:

  1. The data/wal_path can’t be the same as the existing graph (use separate directories)
  2. Replace “gremlin.graph=org.apache.hugegraph.auth.HugeFactoryAuthProxy” to enable auth mode

6.2.1 Get configuration for a graph,This operation requires administrator privileges

Method & Url

Response Body
# gremlin entrence to create graph gremlin.graph=org.apache.hugegraph.HugeFactory # cache config #schema.cache_capacity=1048576 #graph.cache_capacity=10485760 #graph.cache_expire=600  # schema illegal name template #schema.illegal_name_regex=\s+|~.*  #vertex.default_label=vertex  backend=cassandra serializer=cassandra  store=hugegraph ...= 

6.3 Mode

Allowed graph mode values are: NONE, RESTORING, MERGING, LOADING

  • None mode is regular mode
    • Not allowed to create schema with specified id
    • Not support creating vertex with id for AUTOMATIC id strategy
  • LOADING mode used to load data via hugegraph-loader.
    • When adding vertices / edges, it is not checked whether the required attributes are passed in

Restore has two different modes: Restoring and Merging

  • Restoring mode is used to restore schema and graph data to a new graph.
    • Support create schema with specified id
    • Support create vertex with id for AUTOMATIC id strategy
  • Merging mode is used to merge schema and graph data to an existing graph.
    • Not allowed to create schema with specified id
    • Support create vertex with id for AUTOMATIC id strategy

Under normal circumstances, the graph mode is None. When you need to restore the graph, you need to temporarily modify the graph mode to Restoring or Merging as needed. When you complete the restore, change the graph mode to None.
